Her Story

About Angie

Angie Rice is the Coordinator of Donor and Stewardship Services at LeTourneau University, where she works in the higher education and university development field. She processes incoming gifts and donations, issues donor receipts, supports donor events, and resolves donor questions and concerns. She also handles accounting duties, including setting up general ledger funds, conducting audits, making corrections, and submitting batch reports to the accounting office, along with routine office tasks such as ordering supplies.

Over roughly three decades, Rice has built a versatile career spanning retail, banking, administrative support, and business management at a television station. She earned an associate degree from the University of Phoenix and a Bachelor of Business Administration from LeTourneau University, and she is now completing her master's program at the university, with graduation expected next December. This past summer, she also earned Six Sigma Green Belt and Black Belt certifications, which reflect her focus on efficiency and process improvement.

Rice's path has been shaped by resilience and family legacy. The granddaughter of immigrants who worked in the fields and the daughter of devoted parents, she was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer while pursuing her undergraduate degree, yet she persevered through treatment and graduated as a first-generation college student. Now a cancer survivor, Rice is motivated by her wish to give her son a better life. She encourages young women to be gracious with themselves, stay focused, and lean on their faith.

Her Interview

Ten minutes with Angie

01What do you attribute your success to?

I attribute my success to grace, faith, and the ability to stay on task. I come from a family of hardworking people, including grandparents who labored in the fields and parents who sacrificed for me, and their perseverance shaped who I am. I am also driven by my desire to give my son a better life. That determination carried me through my cancer treatments and helped me complete my degree as a first-generation college graduate.

02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

Give yourself grace to make mistakes, because that is how you learn from them. Stay focused and stay on task, because once you lose focus, it is hard to get it back. Above all, rely on God, and know that everything is going to be OK.
